Is it true all nurses get MRSA or C-DIFF?

Published

I was at work last night and the nurses were talking as if it was normal.

I love working in healthcare, but as you know accidents happen, like urine splashing on you/clothing, someone spitting on you or rushing in without gloves during an emergency.

I'm starting nursing school next year but seriously thinking its not for me.

They say, that all nurses get it? Is it true?

I wouldn't want to expose this to my family or other patients that why I practice good hygiene. Any insight?

Not all nurses have MRSA and C. diff, but all nurses can get MRSA and C. diff. Give some MRSA to your honey, some C. diff for nana. It could be the Christmas your family never forgets.

Thank you, D!! I wanted to get started on my Christmas shopping early, and I didn't have any ideas!! 😇👍

Never mind, my idea has been said already.

I'd totally fund a sarcasm font though, just for Mavrick.

That's "sarcasim" to you, Acute.

I gave an ex-girlfriend chlamydia for her birthday one year and she was even more impressed than I thought she'd be.

Why is your head so big compared to your body? You should really go see a doctor.

I didn't notice her head.

I think the worst thing about it is having to take those nasty flagyl pills to try and get rid of it. I wish those pills could be coated so you wouldn't have to taste them going down your throat. I would gag every single time. I was prescribed clindamycin and that is what caused it.

Oookay...

I think the worst thing is the actual C Diff and pooping for days.
